Chapter 3: The Unknowable
Terra Calendar 1589.12.2.
On the third day after the Linden massacre, the transcendent enclave of Three Portlands sailed out of the Berlin area and along the Danube towards Vienna.
And it was today that Three Portlands finally arrived in the port of Vienna.
·········
Three Portland Observatory.
[This isn't a fucking Xingke coffee shop!] 】
A corner of the café was filled with five customers and a dog, and there was a slightly dreary atmosphere at the table.
"You really finished early!?"
The girl with three eyes and more than two meters tall looked at the blonde young man rubbing the white dog's head opposite with a shocked expression.
"Well, I finished early."
Xia Xiu withdrew his right hand that was rubbing the dog's head.
To be honest, Jiamu's dog head is really cool to the touch, and although he is dissatisfied with his boss's hands on him, he wants to resist very much, but whenever he sees the other party's slightly narrowed golden eyes and slightly upturned corners of his mouth, he will very knowingly choose to stretch the dog's head over for the boss to play with.
It's my honor to be touched by the boss, Wang !!
"Quack~, then what are you going to do next..." Traveling Frog Muji pondered his tone and said to the blonde youth in front of him.
"I'm going to go back to [the unknowable], and then I'm officially a social animal and start working overtime." Xia Xiu replied with a smile.
"You graduated so quickly."
The three-eyed girl on the side, Ushas, still looked at the blonde youth in front of her in disbelief, her current Deer Academy pedigree book was still stuck in the first stage [Measurer], and her progress was only 22%, while most of the other deer in the Deer Academy were also stuck at 17% at this time.
Ursas turned his head to look at his girlfriend next to him with some worry, and found that the other party was struggling with his hands to pinch the hospital uniform on his body, the black robe had been pinched out of the folds by the other party, and the other party had not said a word until now.
Next, Xia Xiu chatted with his friends from the Mysterious Animal Research Society for almost two hours, which was his last farewell to the Deer Academy.
During the two-hour chat, Camille remained silent until the end of the conversation.
"Can you take me back to the dormitory?"
Looking at the serious girl opposite, Xia Xiu smiled as usual.
"Absolutely."
Three Portlands is always raining, the drizzle in the hazy sky is constantly tapping on the ground, the silky light rain falls from the sky, the raindrops are so small, the rain curtain is so dense, and the ground responds to the rhythm of the drums beating the drum in response to the rain.
On the road leading to the dormitory of the deer courtyard, a man and a woman are holding an umbrella together, and behind the man and woman is a white dog that is sheltering from the rain by releasing the ARad field created by the EVE particles.
"You should have a lot to say to me, but I don't think you have anything to say to me." The blonde young man holding an umbrella said to the beautiful woman beside him.
"Well, it's true, to be honest, we don't have much in common with each other."
Camille nodded, and she continued somewhat dullly:
"Your eyes are always looking in a certain direction, a certain world, and sometimes I feel that you are disconnected from the whole world, as if you don't belong to this world."
Listening to the words of the woman next to him, Xia Xiu was silent for a while.
Subsequently, Xia Xiu proposed a philosophical topic to Camille that went beyond the sentimentality of parting:
"Have you ever heard of a brain in a vat?"
"This is a very famous theory, which was taught in a general education class not long ago, and I also heard about this theory before I came to Luyuan."
Camille stared sideways at the handsome side face of the blonde young man.
Brain in a Vat: A man (assuming yourself) has been operated on by an evil scientist and his brain has been cut off from his body and placed into a vat containing a nutrient solution that keeps the brain alive. The nerve endings of the brain are connected to a computer, which is programmed to send information to the brain in order to keep it hallucinating that everything is completely normal.
"Are you stuck in a vat of brain self-doubt?"
Camille continued, looking at the blonde youth's expression and feeling that she had asked a very stupid question.
"Don't add entities unless you need to." The blonde youth shook his head.
"I don't like infinite matryoshka dolls and self-doubt, the core element for me is "necessary", not "minimal", and I have always used this razor to anchor myself to feel real. ”
"Often the simplest thing is the most correct, so life or death is the most correct, and the razor shaves away the emotional mind, leaving only pure reason."
Xia Xiu had followed Camille to the huge Douglas Pine at the junction of Anderson's and Blackwood's dormitories, where the two of them had been here countless times, and this would be their last.
Xia Xiu's heart would never agree to pin his hopes on the future, he did not want any eternity and comfort, and he was not afraid of any danger that would arise from the leap.
Exhaust the present - do not want what you have, exhaust what you have, the important thing is not to live the best, but to live the most, this is his life principle.
There is no need to care whether you are a pawn of the gods or a step in a conspiracy, the key is to live, to live with this rupture.
Man has a spirit, but there is also a vital body, and the spirit relies on the body to exhaust everything that is present.
Such a person is sometimes intimidating, and at the same time it is difficult for him to stop, love can't make him stop, at least not now.
"Camille, be wary of the overflowing love in your heart, and the lonely man will always be eager to extend his hand to the one he meets."
Facing the smiling blonde youth, Camille's lips opened, but in the end she still didn't say the words, and the umbrella in the blonde youth's hand was handed to her at some point, she could only look at the figure and herself drifting away, she tightened her hand holding the umbrella.
This is Xia Xiu's final farewell, he has completed the completion of his course with Professor Lawngen, and he now intends to go directly to the Vienna area, and then return to the [Unknown Land] through the [Rainbow Bridge of Reality] in the area.
This would be his first step toward heavenly power.
·······
Vienna area.
The musical capital of Terra, one of the birthplaces of Mimu music, the Musikverein of the Vienna Musiksthale is a coveted temple for many musicians/magicians.
At this time, outside the stairs of the Golden Hall, a handsome blond young man wearing a black trench coat, a white shirt inside, and a top hat on his head was standing; The blonde youth was flanked by a white-haired and red-eyed hound.
"Stop, this place is not open to the public."
The security guards outside the door crossed their spears and stopped each other.
"I was invited to come."
The blonde youth took off his top hat and said to the security guards.
"Invitation?"
The two security guards glanced at each other, they hadn't been notified that a VIP was coming today, this kid wasn't fooling them.
"Let him in, let him in!!"
An anxious voice attracted the attention of the three people present, and the two security personnel subconsciously straightened their chests and saluted each other after seeing the comer:
"Lord Hansen!"
Von Hansen anxiously took off his hat, then he waved his hand to let the two of them stand down, and he came to Xia Xiu and saluted respectfully.
"Pastor von Hansen, see Lord Abraham here!"
Looking at the middle-aged man with a toothpaste beard in front of him, the blonde young man said with a smile:
"You're the [bridge keeper] here."
"Yes, I received your request to Eden three days ago, and you yourself are even more handsome than you are in the pedigree photo."
Facing the young man in front of him who had reached the [Angel of Power] at a young age, von Hansen did not hesitate to offer him a rainbow fart, and what he said now was not a lie, the other party was really more handsome than the image in the photo.
"Take me to the portal at [Rainbow Bridge], I want to go back to [The Unknowable]." Xia Xiu ignored the other party's rainbow fart, he directly asked the other party to take him to the destination.
"Okay, I'll take you there." Von Hansen replied respectfully.
Xia Xiu followed von Hansen into the interior of the golden golden hall, and they just walked quickly through the multiple concert halls in the hall, and von Hansen did not forget to introduce the architectural structure of the hall to the young [Angel of Power] next to him as he walked.
"There's the Brahms Hall over there, there's the office, and there's two collections, one for exhibitions, and there's a regular exhibition of the collections for people to visit. One is the archive room, and on one side the shelves are filled with a large number of handwritten, woodcut, and lead-printed music books and sheet music scores from the past dynasties; On the other side is a row of iron chests containing the manuscripts, letters, and other handwritings of the master musicians. ”
Von Hansen's mouth was like a machine gun constantly introducing Xia Xiu, and he didn't get bored with it, he patiently listened to von Hansen's chatter, while Jiamu, who followed on the side, wagged his tail boringly.
"Ahead is the portal of the [Rainbow Bridge of Reality], which can only be activated by the angels who are watching the Supreme, and there are three anti-particle pair reality anchors."
Von Hansen says all this with pride.
While he was talking, he and Xia Xiu had already come to a wall, which was a stone wall, on which were two human heads looking at each other were inscribed, and under the human head were a pair of unfolded eagle-like wings, and in the center of the eagle-like wings was a golden ring.
[Signs of life detected—]
[In line with the permission cognition——]
[Unlock the safety lock——]
[Welcome, authorized personnel.] 】
The walls slowly crack into an oval-shaped passage, behind which is a spiral staircase.
"Wall of Sighs ·······" Xia Xiu looked at the wall in front of him and said slowly.
Wall of Sighs: One of the miracles of the kingdom of heaven, able to cut off the exploration of the gods, hinder the discovery of omniscient authority, and disturb the fluctuations of fate and foreknowledge; It is also a powerful shield, and not even the [Crowner] can easily break it.
The most important point is that it is one of the few miracle creations that can be split into multiple parts, such as the [Wall of Sighs] in front of Xia Xiu, no one knows that it is a few tenths or hundredths of the body.
The true Wall of Sighs can even stop the indiscriminate bombardment of the gods.
"Your Excellency, Abraham, please go up." Von Hansen bent over and made a gesture of please.
"Hmm."
Xia Xiu nodded, and then he glanced back at Jiamu who was wagging his tail excitedly.
"Keep up and don't mess around."
"Whew-"
Jiamu looked at his boss's squinted eyes and subconsciously clamped his tail.
Is there any danger ahead?
Looking at Jiamu's nervous appearance, Xia Xiu smiled, he was not scaring the other party this time, when they stepped into the spiral staircase, it meant that they were already on the way to the "Kingdom of Heaven", this is the Heavenly Road.
"Let's go, follow me."
Xia Xiu strode into the spiral staircase, while Jiamu followed closely behind the boss.
【Running for the Heavens: Begin!】 】
[Start knocking——]
The red book in Xia Xiu's left hand appeared in front of him, and he held the red book in his hand and began to ask questions according to the connected words updated on it.
"If I run the way of heaven, I must turn away from all sin."
[That's true.] Otherwise you will run to the flames of hell. 】
"I will die as the righteous die, and I will die as the righteous die."
As the pace progressed, the divine colorful light shrouded the blonde young man holding the red book, and the blonde young man bathed in holy glory was like a saint, and the white-haired and red-eyed hound on the side seemed to feel something, he prostrate in front of the holy light, not daring to move.
[Rainbow Bridge Activation——]
[Target: The Unknowable]
[Teleporter: [Angel of Power - Hugh Abraham], [Unknown Beast (Very Low Threat)]]
【Teleportation Begins】
If you want to go to heaven, you must run for it! 】
·········
Kingdom of Heaven, Unknowable Land.
The indigo blue sky cast a colorful light downward, and a handsome young man with blond hair and golden eyes walked out of the light, while a white-haired and red-eyed dog trembled and followed out of the light.
"Speak of his glory among the nations,
Tell His wonders among the nations—"
Listening to the holy songs of the choir in his ears, the refreshing fragrance of fresh grass, the corners of the blonde youth's mouth couldn't help but turn upward.
The Unknowable Lands are finally back.
"You're Hugh Abraham."
Just as Xia Xiu was looking at the towering building in front of him, an old voice sounded from the side.
Xia Xiu subconsciously turned his head, he didn't sense that someone was approaching him just now.
When Xia Xiu saw the other party, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.
"You know me?"
"Your name is known to everyone." The blonde youth took off his hat and bent down respectfully.
The old man in front of Xia Xiu was dressed in a white robe, with a childish face, and he was holding a cane in his right hand, and the old man's hands were particularly eye-catching, because his ten fingers were wearing rings.
"Yes."
The old man named Mu replied with a smile.
